"Mother?" Sakura asked with a confused look and she looked at their 'mother', her master. "How?"
Tsunade smiled at her bewildered apprentice. "Naruto, Neji and Sakura. I would like you to meet Aryus and Ashi Hozeshi. My Sons."
"What!! How did that happen? When did you have time to have children?! Wha-" "Naruto. Shut up." Neji interrupted seriously "You have no business asking her about this. So butt out." And with that Neji walked away and left the five to themselves. Leaving a still bewildered Sakura, a smirking Aryus, a pale Ashi and a fuming Naruto. And Tsunade who still had a smile on her face, not at all fazed about the outburst. She was just leaving the office to get something to eat and take a break, because Shizune had not stopped hounding her with work. She just needed to get out of there. Plus she needed to think about the two new developments in her life. To say that she wasn't expecting them, would be a understatement.
I was just taking a break and heard a lot of commotion and decided to come and check it out, Tsunade thought. Fancy meeting her son and the number one hyperactive ninja of the Konoha village. Ashi wasn't even in the village for a day and already got into trouble with Naruto, that had to be a new world record even for Naruto.
Ashi looked at his brother for support and all he got was a look that said, you are on your own buddy. "Sheesh thanks!" He said under his breath. He then turned to Tatia and earned the same look from the feline. Oh boy, he thought. Slowly turning around her faced his newly found mother. Giving her a shaky hello. "Hi."
"Hello, Ashi. What have you got yourself into?" Tsunade asked with a smirked already guessing what happened. She had passed a messy Sasuke who was with Tenten and figured that they were the cause of such mess. So he got in trouble with Sasuke, great first choice.
"We were just playing a joke, and the guy freaked out and started after us. He had red eyes and I seriously thought that I was going to die! Good thing that girl came along or we would be dead meat." Ashi said with a hurried tone. "Not even in the village a day and I've already been threatened! Next time I have to make sure that I don't get caught." With a determined look, he went to go to his apartment to plot.
'Oh, Boy' Tsunade thought as she watched him go 'I have my hands full.'
THE NEXT DAY
"So what made you come to stay with me? I mean why right now?" Tsunade asked her sons. They came to her office this morning to talk and just get to know each other. And now she asked the one question that plagued her the most.
"Well, in our village, Ashi didn't have a good reputation. It isn't that he is a bad person, it's just that--" but he was interrupted by said man. "I get into a lot of trouble. I have to a problem in being in the wrong place at the wrong time and saying the wrong thing. Which has led my father to be fed up with me. He said that maybe you could help me and make me more mature and responsible. And he sent Aryus to watch over me. To make sure I don't get into anymore trouble." He finished with a smile.
Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Great job so far, Aryus."
Who in turn shrugged. "You're his mother. So he is your responsibility now. He won't listen to me and I have no desire to tell him what to do. Like I said it's your job now."
"Great!" Tsunade reached for her sake bottle to refill her cup. "Well let's head out to the training grounds to see what you can do." Getting up she downed her cup. "Shizune! Get Sakura, Hinata, and Sasuke to the training grounds!"
Looking at the boys. "Let's Go"
TRAINING GROUND
"So I want to see what my boys are capable of."Motioning to the Konoha ninjas she started to introduce the. You already know Sakura and Sasuke but this is Hinata Hyuga."
Ashi looked at the shy women next to Sasuke, she gave him a small smile and then looked back at her feet. Then he turned to the scary man from yesterday, cringing at the glare that was directed his way. Gulp.
Aryus looked at his mother. "I think this is a waste of time." Tsunade looked at her disgruntled son with a serious look. "Well it's good thing I don't care what you think. Now get out there and fight!" Aryus didn't move from his spot and gave his mother a stare. "Now!" she yelled causing Ashi to jump. He turned to his brother. "Aryus, just do it. Don't cause trouble. Please."
Huffing a sigh he went and stood about five feet away from his opponent, Sasuke. Aryus got into his battle stance and so did his enemy, but before they could begin they were interrupted by Shizune.
"Lady Tsunade! We just got a report from Moegi that Konohamaru was kidnapped by enemy sound ninja. Moegi was going to go train with him, but he didn't show up so she went to his house and saw a ransom note with his headband." She handed the handed the band to her and the note and looked to her for direction.
"Shizune! Get together Kiba and Kakashi so we can track them down. And Sakura, Hinata and Sasuke you will follow. Get him back at all costs!"
"But Lady Tsunade. Kiba and Kakashi are on missions. We will have to wait or go blindly."
Tsunade cursed to herself. "If we wait we will lose the scent and if we don't we might not find them. Who knows how long they've been gone. They could be in sound terroritory already!"
Aryus then grabbed their attention when he started his hand seals. Horse. Monkey. Dragon. Ram. Tiger and Rat.
"Animal Summoning Jutsu:Thaynous!" Immediately light came from Aryus' body and then vanished. Showing Aryus with a white and gray wolf next to him. "Mother." Gesturing to the band, he took it from her and showed it to the wolf. "Thaynous. This genin is missing. Find him and do it quickly."
The wolf growled a yes and then took off. With the five ninja following close behind.
